Waterworld, original (Joss?) ending (rough cut)

[moscow_watcher]

I finally uploaded on YouTube the original ending of Waterworld (1995) - the ending most likely written by Joss Whedon, judging by its mythical feel and the cruel irony of the final twist. angearia, thank you again for your invaluable help!

I have no interest in the actual film, but I agree - taht's a Joss ending if I ever saw one.

How was your holiday? Good, I hope.

I remember reading Joss' interview where he said that he mostly worked as Costner's personal typist.

I linked the clip at IMBD - hopefully somebody film geek/online reporter will notice it and ask Joss about it an interview. It would be interesting to know if it's actually Joss' contribution. :)

My holiday was fine - me and my friends had a little party at my place, played guitar, sang songs. At 2 a.m. they left and I dropped into bed. Thankfully, today I could sleep late.

How was yours? What movie did you watch?

Linking the clip is a great idea.

Sounds like a fun time for you.

I had a delightful day. It's always fun to spens time with all three of my men! The movie was "True Grit" and it was great. A 13 year old newcomer played one of the leads and she was awesome. Plus Jeff Bridges is always fantastic.

I'm glad you had a great day!

I'm looking forward to watching "True Grit". The film premieres in Russia in a month. I love brothers Coens' movies, although the last ones were *too* dark. I suspect this one is pretty dark too. But, of course, I can't miss the opportunity to see Jeff Bridges in a Coen movie again. His Dude is a character I'll never forget!

It actually wasn't that dark. There was some real violence, but all of it was tempered by a lot of strong humor. And the violnce wasn't lingered on, which a lot of movies do now.
